Ecology and Evolution of Infectious Diseases

11/3/21

11/24/21

Competition Description

The multi-agency Ecology and Evolution of Infectious Diseases program supports research on the ecological, evolutionary, organismal, and social drivers that influence the transmission dynamics of infectious diseases. The central theme of submitted projects must be the quantitative or computational understanding of pathogen transmission dynamics. The intent is discovery of principles of infectious disease (re)emergence and transmission and testing mathematical or computational models that elucidate infectious disease systems. Projects should be broad, interdisciplinary efforts that go beyond the scope of typical studies.

 

Proposals for research on disease systems of public health concern toLow- or Middle-Income Countries (LMICs) are strongly encouraged, as are disease systems of concern in agricultural systems.
 
 This program is supported by funding from the following agencies: NSF, NIH, USDA, United Kingdom Research and Innovation (UKRI), United States-Israel Binational Science Foundation (BSF), and the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NNSFC).
